ive been trying to do the same thing to my 2 youngest retics. im having a hell of a time. ive tried scenting and all that. so i am trying to go from rats, and now ive fed guinea pigs a couple times. no i am hoping that rabbits will be an easier transition from the pigs than rats.

First try getting them on pre-killed or frozen thawed rats (if that is what they are taking now).
2nd - the pre-killed rabbit should be 100% thawed and warm (I soak mine in hot tap water). Then you should scent the rabbits with rat smell - I have used actual rats as well as soiled rat bedding rubbed all over the rabbit. I also suggest chain feeding - so get your retic used to eating 2 rats in a row, then trick him by slipping in a rabbit. So in one feeding feed a rat, then a warm scented rabbit. It should work - good luck.
